Every morning, I wake up thinking of
new things we could do with graphene. It’s the world’s first two-dimensional
material and truly amazing. Just one atom thick, and the strongest
material we have yet discovered. What’s more, it’s the most
flexible and the hardest. It conducts heat and electricity
better than anything else around and is practically transparent. Andre Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov received the Nobel Prize for their graphene research in 2010. And three years on,
the European Commission launched their biggest
research initiative ever. My university was chosen as coordinator. And the initiative was called,
“The Graphene Flagship.” Graphene has a great future. It can give us thinner, faster,
and cheaper electronics. And its 0.3 nanometers thickness
makes a perfect playground for quantum mechanics and other physics. The theory of relativity, for example,
can be studied in graphene electrons, without having to accelerate
these to the speed of light. You will get to know this
material well during the course. You will understand it,
learn how it’s produced, and how its properties can
be used to develop devices with entirely new functions. During this course, we will be
taking a particular and closer look at what potential graphene
offers electronics. One example is graphene
optoelectronic devices where the graphene is produced via
chemical vapor deposition, an industry compatible technique. Sign up and join me in this
exciting, amazing, and highly stimulating two-dimensional world.

Our new free course on Graphene is now underway! Graphene is one atom thick and the strongest material known to man. Learn what science makes this the "Miracle Material" so miraculous — enroll today: http://ow.ly/KKZYC
